Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given.
The evolutionary importance of ............... was apparent to Darwin, but not to Linnaeus.

Answer 1

The correct option is C variation

Lamarck is best known for his "Theory of Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics", that is If an organism changes during life in order to adapt to its environment, those changes are passed on to its offspring. But according to Darwin, variation helps the species to survive in unfavourable condition environment.

So the correct option is C, variation.
